From court selection, quote and construction to export, trademarks and warranty, 14 common questions answered one by one.
Q1. Interlocking flooring / acrylic roll flooring / acrylic court coating: how to choose among 3 pickleball court solutions?
Choose by 4 dimensions: 1) Need removability — interlocking flooring and acrylic roll flooring are removable and movable; court coating is permanently fixed. 2) Budget — court coating 98 yuan/㎡ (cheapest, only 1/3 of silicon PU), interlocking 120-268 yuan/㎡, roll flooring 200-260 yuan/㎡. 3) Schedule — interlocking is fastest at 1-3 days, roll flooring 1-2 days, court coating needs 7 steps including 3-5 days of base treatment. 4) Usage frequency — high-frequency professional competition: acrylic roll flooring or Xingyao interlocking; temporary events / mall pop-ups: Standard Mige interlocking or roll flooring. Home / community / backyard: Reinforced Mige interlocking.
Q2. How much does a standard pickleball court cost?
A standard pickleball court is 13.4 × 6.1 m (about 81㎡). Full-package quote (floor + net frame + paddles + balls): Standard Mige interlocking ¥10,470 incl. tax / Reinforced Mige ¥14,600 incl. tax (slightly larger 105㎡ court) / Xingyao event-grade (600㎡ large venue) ¥170,600 incl. tax. With acrylic court coating, turnkey pricing starts from 98 yuan/㎡, about ¥7,938 for 81㎡. Roll flooring is 200-260 yuan/㎡, with roll quantity based on court size.
Q3. What does “ball elasticity A / A+ / A-” mean for interlocking flooring?
Ball elasticity is the rebound-height ratio after a test pickleball (76mm diameter, 26g weight) is dropped freely from 1.83m. LOCVIN has 4 interlocking floors: Standard Mige A- (basic pickleball performance), Reinforced Mige A+ (series highest, thickened support feet + reinforced surface improve rebound), Xingyao A (event-grade, with 95% ball bounce rate), Polaris A- (soft orientation, 60% shock absorption compensates for ball elasticity). For home and community courts, A+ Reinforced Mige offers the best value.
Q4. What does “A USA Brand US registered trademark” mean? Is it legal?
The LOCVIN trademark has completed synchronized registration in China / the United States / Vietnam. Vietnam registration No. 573717 is valid until 2034-04-10; China and US registration numbers are pending. “A USA Brand” means the trademark is registered in the United States, not the place of production. The place of production is Qiaoxia Town, Yongjia County, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China. This wording complies with advertising-law requirements and differs from wording such as “imported from the US” that implies origin.
Q5. Do you export? How does OEM/ODM work?
Yes. LOCVIN trademark registration in China, the US and Vietnam provides a legal basis for export. OEM/ODM process: 1) client provides brand LOGO and color specifications → 2) we provide SKU selection and quote (interlocking flooring calculated by container) → 3) sample confirmation → 4) mass production → 5) FOB Shanghai / Ningbo Port. Overseas case: JOOLA Outback Pickleball Central & Club (a top German pickleball brand).
Q6. What is your relationship with AnchorCare? What is SVS?
They all belong to Zhejiang Jiunai Technology Group (the same company). The group has three independent websites: sport-court.cn for general sports flooring (basketball courts, etc.), annaikang.cn for senior anti-fall flooring (nursing homes / kindergartens / bathrooms), and locvin.com for complete pickleball equipment (this site). SVS is a premium sub-brand used across the three sites. The pickleball version belongs to LOCVIN, and the senior version belongs to AnchorCare. All three sites share the group’s 10-year R&D foundation since 2015.
Q7. What base is needed for interlocking flooring? How long does installation take?
Interlocking flooring has flexible base requirements: any flat, hardened surface is suitable (cement, asphalt, plaza tiles, existing PVC roll flooring), with no need to build a new base. A 500㎡ project is usually completed in 1-2 days, and all-weather installation is not affected by temperature. It is 100% removable and reusable (the essential difference from acrylic court coating). Xingyao event-grade requires a very flat base; the other three models are more tolerant.
Q8. What does the “included” in 98 yuan turnkey acrylic court coating include?
It includes base treatment (3-5 days, depending on base condition) + primer (4-6 hours) + elastic reinforcement layer (2-3 coats) + textured top layer (2 layers) + line marking (12 hours) + accessory installation + acceptance. Not included: original cement base construction (if the site is bare soil, a C25 cement base must be built first) / new court fencing / lighting system. Details vary by court size, city and flooring base condition.
Q9. How long can acrylic court coating last?
Under standard use (community / school frequency), service life is 6-10 years and annual surface wear is only 0.02 mm. Under high-frequency use (clubs averaging 8+ hours/day / commercial training institutions), service life is 1-5 years. Friction coefficient is 0.5-0.7 (ASTM D2047), rebound rate ≥90%. Environmentally compliant with GB 18581-2020, VOC < 50 g/L，不含重金属，水性配方。
Q10. Can a tennis court be converted to pickleball?
Yes. One standard tennis court (23.77 × 10.97 m) can be divided into 4 standard pickleball courts (13.4 × 6.1 m). LOCVIN offers two conversion options: 1) interlocking flooring overlay — does not damage the original tennis court and can be restored; 2) acrylic roll flooring / court coating re-layout — permanent conversion. LOCVIN has provided conversion plans for multiple old tennis-court clients. If one tennis court’s traffic is split into 4 pickleball courts, operating efficiency per unit area can increase 3-4 times.
Q11. Can seniors / middle-aged and older groups play? What court configuration is needed?
Strongly recommended. Research has shown pickleball can reduce heart-disease risk, improve social integration and reduce fall risk. Court configuration for middle-aged and older groups: 1) Polaris interlocking (60% shock absorption + marble-textured extra anti-slip + rollable for seasonal storage); 2) the group’s sister site annaikang.cn provides SVS1 Polaris senior-protection version (102 BPN friction + 65A soft vulcanized rubber + full-piece roll-up) — designed for nursing homes / bedrooms for older family members.
Q12. Do your paddles / balls meet international competition standards?
They comply with USAPA specifications. The LP-1 paddle series has 3 tiers (fiberglass / T300 / T700), with a 40 × 20 cm face, compliant with USAPA specifications. Injection-molded pickleballs are 76 mm × 26 g × 40 holes, using post-injection thermal welding, compliant with USAPA specifications. Note: the USAPA certification process is being advanced (not submitted for testing for now), but product parameters and process comply with USAPA specifications and can be used in competitions.
Q13. Can colors and LOGO be customized? How is it priced?
Yes. Choose from 9 base colors (red, yellow, blue, orange, gray, green, white, sky blue, black). Custom colors outside the 9-color range are +10 yuan/㎡, and LOGO painting is 300 yuan/㎡. Existing custom cases include MUSCO pink + LOGO, JOOLA pink-black + LOGO, OSTATION blue-green + LOGO, and a full purple court for a well-known retail membership chain. Recommendation: B-end / commercial / school clients can customize corporate VI to improve brand recognition.
Q14. Who are your clients? What is the warranty?
Cooperating clients include MUSCO Lighting in the US (the world’s No. 1 sports-venue lighting brand), JOOLA Outback Pickleball Central & Club (a top German pickleball brand), OSTATION mall chain, WPK competition courts, PICKLEBOO, PICKLE BALL club chain, and a well-known domestic retail membership chain. Warranty: interlocking flooring (Standard / Reinforced Mige) 8 years against pulverization; Xingyao 6 years against pulverization; acrylic roll flooring 3-year warranty; acrylic court coating service life 6-10 years depending on usage frequency.
